In this game, the scaling bonus features will have players seeking a path through the lightning as they progress through the trials of the Norse gods and their features. Take the path today, and you have the chance to win up to 2.4 million coins.

How the Game is Designed

Unfortunately, the visual game design for the Thunderstruck II slot is where this game drops the hammer badly. The slot doesn’t have the best looking graphics and animations, however, take this with a pinch of salt as the game was released in 2010.

For the most part, the game features a stone and steel-like theme, reminiscent of a great hall from the Viking times. The symbols that players will be looking for include:

• Ace, king, queen, jack, ten, and nine
• Norse gods Valkyrie, Loki, Odin, and Thor
• Thunderstruck II logo
• Thor’s (bonus) hammer

What was great about this game is that throughout the bonus features, the design and theme changes to suit the Norse god for each feature, with Valkyrie being beige, Loki green, Odin purple, and space-themed, and Thor being blue and stormy.

Slot Game Sounds and Music

For the most part, the background and music are decent; however, it was not what we were expecting, as it was mainly Vikings-themed, which sounded more like a well-scored movie. One aspect that we weren’t primarily a fan of was the sound of coins when winning big, it wasn’t overly loud, but just the tone was irritable after a while.

Overall, for a slot that was developed over a decade ago, the quality of the sounds and music is quite excellent, certainly better than the overall graphics and animations.

Special Features

Players have a chance throughout the game to strike with the wrath of Thor himself, with the ‘Wildstorm’ feature. This bonus feature can occur at any time, highlighted by Thor striking with his hammer and unlocking the power of thunder in the reels. 

If you are lucky enough, the Wildstorm will hammer the reels into an expanding wild, but if the gods are not on your side, you may be unlucky and fail to capitalize on the power at hand.

This slot game has a progression bonus feature – called the ‘Great Hall of Spins’ – which will remember your progress and provide you with greater rewards the more times you visit the great hall. To trigger this feature, players need to get three or more of Thor’s bonus hammers.

Unlocking a visit to the hall requires three or more bonus hammer symbols, with a total of 20 trips to reach the end of the hall with Thor for the biggest bonus rounds and free spins available. 

Each god has its bonus value in this feature, and you will find a summary below:

• Visits one through to five are with Valkyrie and gain ten free spins including all wins multiplied five times
• Visits six through to ten are with Loki and reward players with 15 free spins and the wild magic feature with the wild magic symbol on reel three granting symbol transformation powers
• Visits 11 through to 15 are with Odin and grant players 20 free spins plus the wild raven feature, with Odin’s two ravens able to randomly turn symbols into 2x or 3x multiplies (or 6x if both ravens land)
• Visits 16 through to 20 are with Thor and reward players with 25 free spins and the rolling reels feature which allows consecutive wins the ability to increase the multiplier up to 5x

The Thunderstruck II logo acts as the wild for the standard game, substituting symbols and doubling the win.
